Two Broke Watch Snobs

Ep. #72 Basel World 2018 Predictions (...and Lamentations)!


Listen Later

It's that time of year again, guys - freaking Basel World 2018 is going down... you know what that means? This week Mike and Kaz are sitting down and talking Basel World 2018 predictions while also reminiscing about last year's winner (and flops).
Kaz just wants everyone to know, he doesn't want any more Tudor Blackbays. No one wants anymore Tudor Blackbays. Please give us a Tudor Ranger GMT... that said, the Two Broke Watch Snobs are totally prepared for 40 new versions of the Tudor Blackbay that no one asked for (including the hotly anticipated Tudor ColonScope).
More importantly, the guys talk about the hyperbolic culture of Basel World 2018 and how the brands that actually stand to offer something fresh and new never see coverage. That's why Mike and Kaz are revealing their goal to grow TBWS enough to attend Basel World next year. That way, we can actually shed the spotlight and cover brands that will actually be fresh and new - not the typical horological circle-jerking echochamber.
Plus, don't click your dive bezel during phone conferences, TBWS needs to segment into the sex industry (thoughtful chatturbate watch reviews while Mike and Kaz feed each other chips... shirtless), and the guys wonder how the hell bad business ideas (and bad websites) make money.
This is also an action-packed episode, guys - fire alarms go off, ambulance sirens are blaring, dialysis machines are shutting down - but worst of all... the tofu gets ruined 0_0.
